What distinguishes ContainerWest from our competitors is that we have our own in-house engineering team and self-perform the construction work — this allows us to be your primary contractor for the entire project. Being the single point of contact provides a significant opportunity to improve project management and scheduling, as well as reducing overall costs.
Our 30,000 sq ft manufacturing facility is located on Mitchell Island, in the Vancouver Area, and provides a quality controlled environment for the fabrication of your shipping container project.
